Wheat State Dance Collective seeks to enhance and refine the already reputable quality of classical and contemporary dance in the city of Wichita by creating engaging, challenging, and thoughtful dance performances featuring locally-trained dancers from the city of Wichita and throughout Kansas. The company provides professional performance opportunities to locally-trained dance artists, and encourages those artists to stay and cultivate Wichita’s dance community, or to pursue their dreams and further opportunities across the United States.

In the future, Wheat State Dance Collective will build up the quality of its performances by bringing in guest choreographers from across the country and beyond to nourish Wichita’s dance quality, and to put the city in a position of national recognition. As funds permit, WSDC will also collaborate with local musicians, visual artists, and other artistic mediums to build a strong sense of community and engage the people of Wichita.
